Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

Santa's Sleigh Ride

As you know, if you are a regular visitor, all of my Christmas cards this year have been from one or other of the Hunkydory Adorable Scorable kits  This one comes from the kit called 'A Cuddly Christmas', the individual sheet is called 'Santa's Sleigh Ride'.


This card was nice and simple, all I needed to add to the backing sheet was a couple of die cut snowflakes and a sentiment, I am really pleased with this snowflake die set.


The next two cards are decoupaged.  I think it was intended that all the layers made up the one sleigh but it would have been so high that I decided to split it into two.  On reflection, I think I should have fussy-cut around the first layer.  Oh well!


Here is the other half of the decoupage.  Ho ho ho!

Elf Time!

Ow, now they want to play nicy, nicy!


They have bought letters from Santa and Christmas Trees.


Woo, Grow Your Own Christmas Tree!  How cool is that?

Back tomorrow.

      Hi Carol. Those Santa's are cute.

      Yeah, they were nice last night but I still don't trust them. They have one last night and I wouldn't turn my back on them.

    These are lovely. I love those snowflakes too. I'd have never have known about the decoupage if you hadn't said. They look great and who's got time yo fussy cut!!! So the elves have redeemed themselves, as I absolutely love those growing trees. I'm with Carol, this month has flown, I can't believe it's nearly time! xxx

      Thank you L, the best thing about that set of snowflake dies was the price, just £3.99 - that's £1.33 per die. When you think how much dies cost when we started making cards.

      I have to agree, this month has just vanished.
